thats a strange 1 alright,maybe when you were giving to much it stored up a SHIT LOAD IN THE LEAVES and it,s taking a while to flush out of it.

might go with 2 and half maybe. i was using canna aqua A+B, cannazym, rhizo, cannaboost, PK13/14 for 10 days and advanced nutrients sensical mag bloom, the rhizo is a root stimulant and stress reliever. its all im going to be feed ing this 1 for a couple of weeks.

thanks dude, i may invest this grow in the nutes for flower, maybe some rhizo for the roots in veg otherwise i`m happy with the babybio, gives lush green to them, and with the cfls there nice and tight node wise...

on the scrog, i hear twine is best and a self made screen as when done if buds grow around the twine you cut it and pull it through the bud..

have yet to try i just read it on here... what you thin of these light movers thingys..

**Smokeydog** · 07-24-2012, 03:23 PM

its all pricey stuff but worth i reckon. thats a good idea with the twine and simple 2 i was goin to make it with some welding wire,but i reckon twine now, know nothing about the light movers man, read a bit about them before,they seem to be a good job.

**ae86 grower** · 07-24-2012, 03:30 PM

well i`ll be investing in nutes and work up too the movers and the extra 600w it looks like.. with the cost of nutes like...

theres always time to upgrade in the future with the lights, need to dial in my growing a bit aswell, have started to study up on things but as i`m a more hands on before it sticks i`ll be trying a couple of things with some future grows so mybe then have like a seperate experimental flower room, and keep the much needed weed crop comeing for the hash and brownies..

speaking of which, any more bakeing have you????

could it be that your soil has time release nuts already it it? i hear the miracle gro does this.

hi ae86

i see no one has answered you with the nutes question yet. i didn't want to as i don't use soil, but if i was i would use organic nutes.
what brand? i don't know, but the guys in the shops will guide you on that and they'll help with the boosts too.
but if your looking for nutes in homebase or something like that, just get a organic tomato feeder liquid with a small bit of baby bio and then add a small bit of molasses "black treacle".
the baby bio is high in nitrogen and the black treacle is more or less just sugar and works as a boost.
do not use them in a hydro setup as you will cause yourself problems. organic nutes feed the soil which in turn feeds the plant. hydro has no soil to feed so you need your nuts to feed the plant direct. not that you can't use hydro nutes on soil. but with soil it's better to use organic feeds as your babies will love you for it and will taste much nicer.

as for them light mover, i fell in love with them when i 1st seen them. even today i think they are a great idea. but i wouldn't get one. the guys that have them have stated that moving the light bulb when its on reduces the life of the bulb. which is probably the reason that the JML halogen oven's only last a few months.
if you want to move something i would move the plants.

thats fucking awesome piped piper... have never seen anything like that before...

have the babybio and the molasses can be found local, thing is i will be useing the hempy type buckets you now the type with a small res in the bottom of each pot...

so the tomato feed and organic feeds are a no no ive heard... something like they coagulate in the bottom of the buckets or some shit..

have yet to hear from anyone that actually has a mover, unless billy has one not sure... but aren`t bulbs 600w like 40euro? so its not too expensive, and they save the cost of the second 600w so we might break even with one hee hee hee, thanks for the input tho its great to bounce ideas about, even if they are shit ones it still good to go through it.......

the original plan was for 2 600w for yeild...... then billly mentioned movers..cool i`m up for it, saves the leccy.. now cash for nutes comes into it, so were down to 1 600w and a full lineup of nutes so was going with rhizo in veg and the bud blaster and one or two other things in flower... just to up the size of my yeilds they been pretty piss poor so far....
